- SURESH RAINA
Bend it like Beckham. Finish it like Raina. After witnessing Team India’s heroics in their victorious T20I campaign, it wouldn’t be unjust to view the two aphorisms as parallel to each other. From stitching a colossal partnership worth 134 runs with Virat Kohli in the first T20I at Adelaide to being on the threshold of guiding his team to a clean sweep over Australia two games later, the vibrant left hander from Ghaziabad has reposed the faith shown in him by the selectors with some valiant knocks in the middle order. His retaliation has come as a huge sigh of relief for M.S Dhoni and co. especially because the ICC World T20 is just two months away.
